Top The FRIENDSTM Experience Hotel Reviews

Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome experience! Hotel staff is extremely helpful and pleasant. The place is spotless. On site restaurant serves great breakfast ($6.50 for guests) and has singing wait staff for dinners. Highly recommended!! I have stayed here three times. You won’t be disappointed."

Freehand New York

8/10 Good

"The per person check-in free or per-night fee, how ever they frame is seems like a scam. Although it’s in the fine print, I didn’t appreciate it."

NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS

10/10 Excellent

"What can I say... My stay was great... Just a good hotel to be in for a vacation"

PUBLIC, an Ian Schrager hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is set back from the street with some trees and benches in front so it feels set apart from the busy street. I had tea and snacks in the lobby but did not go to the restaurant which I hear is beautiful. I filled out a survey and mentioned that the room lacked amenities (sewing kit, moisturizer, shower cap, robe). I was surprised to get an email from the manager who mentioned that they would have been happy to supply those things if I had asked. My room did have a clothes steamer which was very convenient since I was attending a wedding and my outfit was wrinkly from my suitcase. Overall, it was a nice stay!"
